Using 17 chemical elements as a proxy for stellar DNA, we present a full phylogenetic study of stars in the solar neighbourhood. This entails applying a clustering technique that is widely used in molecular biology to construct an evolutionary tree from which three branches emerge. These are interpreted as stellar populations which separate in age …

http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2015/05/yeast-can-live-human-genes Yeast and humans have been evolving along separate paths for 1 billion years, but there’s still a strong family resemblance, a new study demonstrates. After inserting more than 400 human genes into yeast cells one at a time, researchers found that almost 50% of the genes functioned and enabled the fungi to survive. Systematic …
New article: Engineering the Perfect Baby: Scientists are developing ways to edit the DNA of tomorrow’s children. Should they stop before it’s too late?
